Financiando el transporte sustentable para México

The report identifies the transport sector as Mexico's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and argues that green bonds can bridge the investment gap for sustainable mobility. It highlights specific projects, such as electric buses in Mexico City and the Mexico-Toluca train, while outlining the Climate Bonds Standard for certifying eligible low-carbon transport assets.

• The transport sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Mexico, accounting for 25.1% of total national emissions, with approximately 90% of these originating from road transport.
• Mexico has set a target to reduce black carbon (soot) emissions by 51% by 2030, a goal that is critical given that 38% of the country's black carbon emissions come from the transport sector.
• Despite the potential, sustainable transport represents a very small fraction of green bond funding in Mexico, accounting for only 1.27% of allocated funds as of January 31, 2021, compared to 45.73% for energy.
• Several high-impact sustainable transport projects are underway in Mexico, including the Mexico-Toluca train (investment of approximately 4 billion USD) and the electric bus route on Eje 8 in Mexico City, which is expected to reduce GHG emissions by 875,809t.
• The private sector is also engaging in fleet electrification; for example, Bimbo plans to invest approximately 146 million USD via its subsidiary Moldex to manufacture 4,000 electric units over four years.
• The Climate Bonds Standard (CBS) certifies transport projects as green if they are zero-emission (electric or green hydrogen) or meet specific operational emission thresholds: less than 50g passenger-km for passenger transport and less than 25g tonne-km for freight.
